Hi All Just to say Hello, I asked a few days ago if anyone wanted to do a deal with a ft857/icom 703 for a K2 well,
I had many offers to sell me a K2 so many thanks to all the people that made the offer. In the end I bought one from a member of the list and have today had chance to play with it. I have a FT1000MP Mk5 Field here in the shack and have been doing side by side tests with the K2 I must say I am very surprised by how well this little radio works, First SSB, it seems just about on par with the MP ,if anything many signals sounded nicer to listen to on the K2! Now CW Well I was shocked! The MP is loaded with all the Yaesu filters, Has DSP filtering too, I found a weak signal and switched between the two radios, every time the K2 was better, the MP sounded hollow on Cw, well that’s the best way I can describe it, but the K2 just sounded solid , I know which radio I will turning on first now! NOW THE QUESTIONS What current level is set on most K2 to avoid the Hi Cur warning, I get it on a whisle, I have just for now set it to abou 4.5Amps and it seems ok with that. ( 15 watts o/p ) I have a little noise on the vol pot when I turn it, a friend has the same on his K2, is there a good way of cleaning the pot? Well that’s about it (for Now) One very happy K2 Owner 73 Paul M0BMN -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
